The new documentary, currently raising funds on Indiegogo, is a feature-length film that aims to uncover “the philosophy behind the Newton Community, what the Newton’s enduring charm is, and what it means to the people who use it or have used it.”

The filmmakers behind Love Letter to Newton are aiming to raise a modest $17,000 to make it. If you’re interested in getting involved, you can pledge anything from $25 (for a copy of the finished product on USB) to $699 (for a producer’s credit). A pledge of $450 will get you a copy of the original Newton MessagePad in its original box.

We know that there is a loyal group of Newton fans out there, so it will be interesting to see if the filmmakers are able to garner their support. There are still plenty of Apple engineers who worked on the project, who are more than happy to speak about this product line, so hopefully the crew behind “Love Notes to Newton” can create something worthwhile about a fascinating product.
